I picked up a 99 K1200RS about 5 weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! What a machine....

My question is on preloading the rear spring. I understand the higher the number the firmer the ride but where is the reference point? Is it at the top of the "fork" or is it on the side where the adjusting screw is for the shock absorber. Where should the number line up?

Thanks for the help
